A multi-purpose, hand-held flashlight has an elongated body with a front body portion having a bottle opener and a front engaging structure. The elongated body also includes a rear body portion with a rear engaging structure that is cooperatively dimensioned to interact with the front engaging structure to releasably couple the front body portion to the rear body portion. The rear body portion includes a second substantially cone shaped extent that includes a recessed cutting element. A lighting element assembly is disposed within the elongated body and includes a lighting element printed circuit board coupled to an emitter assembly, a power source, and a switch. The switch is configured to change the operational mode of the emitter assembly. An attachment mechanism is coupled to the second extent of the rear body portion.

A louvred lighting fixture comprising a lighting assembly and a louvre assembly. The lighting assembly comprises a lighting arm having a light emitting device. The louvre assembly comprises an outer louvre 19 and an inner louvre. The louvred lighting fixture 1 has an axis of rotation X-X, wherein the lighting arm, the outer louvre and the inner louvre each have a longitudinal axis of rotation that is coaxial with the axis of rotation X-X, so that, in use, the outer louvre and the inner louvre are rotated so that the forward light obscuring region and the rearward light obscuring region can be positioned within the beam of light emitted by the light emitting device.

A light shading element includes a base plate having a light-transmitting hole, a light shading blade for at least partially blocking the light-transmitting hole, and first and second driving mechanisms pivotally connected to the light shading blade to drive its movement in a plane. The first and second driving mechanisms are pivotally connected to the light shading blade through a first pivot point and a second pivot point, respectively. The light shading blade is configured to selectively move close to and away from the light-transmitting hole to respectively block and unblock the light-transmitting hole. The first pivot point moves along an arcuate trajectory under driving of the first driving mechanism, and the second pivot point is capable of moving along another arcuate trajectory around the first pivot point under driving of the second driving mechanism, when the first pivot point is at any position along the arcuate trajectory.
